Sommario/riassunto

Neue Forschungen zum Nachleben Ägyptens

The material and intellectual presence of Egypt is at the heart of Western culture, religion and art from Antiquity to the present. This volume aims to provide a long term and interdisciplinary perspective on Egypt and its mnemohistory, taking theories on objects and their agency as its main point of departure. The central questions the book addresses are why, from the first millennium BC onwards, things and concepts Egyptian are to be found in such a great variety of places throughout European history and how we can account for their enduring impact over time. By taking a radically object-oriented perspective on this question, this book is also a major contribution to current debates on the agency of artefacts across archaeology, anthropology and art history.

Sommario/riassunto

On behalf of the Organizing Committee for Pervasive2007, welcome to the p- ceedingsoftheFifthInternationalConferenceonPervasiveComputing. Theyear 2007 was a milestone for this young conference series, as it marked the ?rst year that it was held outside of Europe. This "globalization" of the Pervasive c- ference is further evidence of its emergence as one of the most respected venues for publishing research on pervasive and ubiquitous computing. Each Pervasive conference represents a snapshot of our ?eld, capturing the state of the art in technology, the research challenges we are addressing, as well as the people that form the Pervasive community. Each year's proceedings represent an oppor- nity to learnaboutnew areas andidentify upcoming researchopportunities, and 2007 was no exception. Pervasive 2007 attracted 132 high-quality submissions, from which the Te- nicalProgramCommitteeaccepted21papers,resultinginacompetitive16%- ceptance rate. In total, there were over400individual authors from32 countries, coming from a wide array of disciplines and from both academic and industrial organizations. Paperswereselectedsolelyonthe qualityoftheir peer reviews- ing a double-blind review process. We were fortunate to draw on the combined experience of over 125 years of research in pervasive and ubiquitous comp- ing in our 28 Program Committee members, coming from the most prestigious universities and research labs in Europe, North America, and Asia.

Committee members were aided by no less than 177 external reviewers in this rigorousprocess,in whicheachCommittee member wroteabout ten reviewsand each external reviewer between one and six.
